Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!

There seems to be an unusually large number of new members introducing themselves over the past few days. That's great!

Welcome to you all! You will find here a diverse international community of friends who share an interest in paper modeling in all its forms. Join in, share your projects, methods, and questions, and enjoy the ride.

Cheers,
--David

Admin, How many are we now?

David,

due to all of the spam accounts that have been added, some 200 in an hour a few days ago, no real accurate listing is available, but my conservative estimate is around 35000, the rest are all spam accounts

Yep, Welcome to all of the newest members.

I have noticed a lot of spam accounts being registered on other board, too. The new account is registered and an irrelevant post is made in a long dead thread to try to establish ligitimacy.

well in our case, all first posts are moderated, so we can filter out those types of accounts, and ban them

it might be a Hans Brinker type of effort on our part, but we do try and keep the forum clean
